Your personal rules go in /var/ossec/rules/local_rules.xml

Example :
  <rule id="100078" level=“0">
    <if_sid>5703,31161</if_sid>
       <srcip>1.2.3.4</srcip>
       <description>Ignore this</description>
  </rule>

Rule id must in the 100000 range
Level 0 means ignore the alerts
if_sid the rule number you get in the message, can be a list of several rules.

Can you give a hint in where to write those new rules and where I could nick an 
example?

Whitelisting is for active response, not alerts. Write some rules to
filter out the alerts you don't want to see.
